Sam Smith: The further complication reportedly has been the demands of Yi and Noah, or perhaps their agents. Both evidently have sent word to several teams in the top 10 that they didn't want to play in their cities. The teams generally have been ignoring the warnings. A player's option if he declines to report is to sit out one full year and not play basketball anywhere for any team and then go back in the draft. If he plays anywhere in the world, the team that drafted him would continue to hold his rights. The demands once again are raising questions, particularly about Noah being a spoiled rich kid who goes his own way. Rarely in the history of the NBA have players from wealthy families had any success or proved to be committed workers, though Bill Laimbeer was an exception. But Noah has wide appeal. I think Noah is gonna be frustrated in the Association AND STAY IN FOUL TROUBLE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good motor but spoiled brat [Edited by - playa2 on 28-06-2007 12:35]
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
